RIP fmovies. Long live sudo
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!
Generally I agree. But I'd be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.
The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.
That's what I do
Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)
Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it'll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let's go crazy and say $. 20/kWh. 10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year. Not free, but pretty damn close.
